I've been to Can Gio several times, and was consequently unwilling to waste my money on one of the Vietnamese bus tours. The destinations selected and the quality of the service were beyond compare. A real view of the mangrove forest and Vietnamese life. Despite living in Vietnam for almost a decade I found myself learning new things about this town I call home. Special thanks to our guide Hang, and the whole team.
